In December 1993, Venerable Master Ru-Sun was invited by Disciples to teach Buddhism in Australia. The Disciples responded with great enthusiasm and purchased a thirty-two acre plot of land that is bound by a creek, old pine trees and beautiful grassland. Yun Yang Temple (Australia) Inc.was established in April 1995.

Yun Yang Temple (Australia) Inc.is located at 6-10 Reservoir Road, Narre Warren North, 1 hour Southeast of Melbourne. Nestled in 32 acres of parkland and gardens, it is surrounded by fauna and flora. Being far away from the hustle and bustle of city living, it provides a conducive environment for Dharma practice. After basic renovations, the existing farm house was converted into a Ch’an practise Temple. In order to accomodate different devotees, Pure Land practice was also introduced. Due to the ever-increasing number of followers and visitors, the existing facilities were unable to meet demand. At the same time, there was a strong request from the devotees for a formal main shrine. Under these circumstances, the Temple committee decided to initiate a master plan for the construction.

The new Main Shrine Building is 14 meters high with the Reception and Lecture Hall on the ground floor. The first floor will be used as the Main Shrine, accomodating the Buddha statues and Thousand Buddha Altar. On both sides of the Main Shrine will be the Meditation Hall and Multi-function Hall. Forty meditation huts are also designed for the retreat requirements. In addition, the Buddhist Chinese garden consists of a white marble pagoda, bridge, pavilion, beautiful plants, lotus pond and a 1.7 kilometers track, which will provide an excellent environment for spiritual cultivation.

Very nice view in the pond, they welcome people outside their religion just be respectful and quiet.

I’ve my 2020ny retreat here. Awesome place, good ambient, cosy, magnificent views and most importantly peaceful and wonderful feelings! Good charge-up for a brand new year!

A beautiful, elegant and peaceful garden. I would like to visit the place again with family and friends.

Very peaceful place. You can have a free meal if you arrive there before 10am at weekend. People there are very friendly.

Serene and quiet environment. A nice walk to various pergolas. Has a dining hall for vegetarian food. Check website for dining hall times. Main prayer hall is separated into males and females section. Wear easily removable shoes as there is a "shoes off" policy within prayer rooms.
